False Colour

False Colour assigns different colors to areas of different exposure
in the image. Instead of just showing what parts of the image are
overexposed, it gives a more complete picture of what is going on in
the image by using a range of exposure values. Generally speaking,
overexposed elements will display as red, and underexposed
elements will display as blue.

The gradient between colour levels can be adjusted to have a
gradient or not. If gradient is not selected, the colour levels will
change instantly to the next colour level.

False Colour Scale:

To help you determine the exposure range with more accuracy,
please use the scale above:

You can apply all filters to your monitor at the same time but set up
individually for your needs

Blue for Exposure

Displays a black-and-white image that is based on the blue channel
of the input signal. Used to observe the noise content of a video
image and the judge the overall exposure quality.

SmartLog

playback, more on this later).

assign a “good clip” or “bad clip”. This information can then be
exported to non-linear editing system to speed up the edit process,

to keep or reject.
